Class 7 MOT Testing in Hebburn, Tyne and Wear

Class 7 MOT testing for large vans and light commercials at Banks Of The Tyne Motor Company in Hebburn. Quick, thorough testing that keeps your business vehicles legal and earning, with repairs handled on site.

Class 7 MOTs for Vans & Light Commercials

Goods vehicles with a design gross weight over 3,000kg and up to 3,500kg need a Class 7 MOT rather than a standard car test. That covers many long-wheelbase and high-roof vans such as the Ford Transit, Mercedes Sprinter, VW Crafter, Renault Master and Fiat Ducato, along with Luton and dropside conversions.

We know a van off the road means lost work. Our Hebburn workshop tests Class 7 vehicles efficiently, explains any issues clearly and can carry out the repairs straight away, helping tradespeople and fleets across Tyneside keep moving.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my van needs a Class 7 MOT?

Check the design gross weight (DGW) on the manufacturer's plate, usually inside the driver's door or under the bonnet. If it's over 3,000kg and up to 3,500kg, it needs a Class 7 test. Under 3,000kg is a Class 4 test.

Is a Class 7 MOT different from a car MOT?

The checks are similar, but the test accounts for the heavier weight, including brake performance under load. The testing equipment and bay must be suitable for Class 7 vehicles.

Can you fix my van if it fails?

Yes. We'll explain the failure, quote for the repair and carry it out here, then retest so your van is back on the road as soon as possible.
